Poset Permutahedra

Abstract. Poset permutahedra are an amalgamation of order polytopes and permutahedra. We show that poset permutahedra give a unifying perspective on several recent classes of polytopes that occurred, for example, in connection with colorful subdivisions of polygons and Hessenberg varieties. As with order polytopes, the geometry and the combinatorics of poset permutahedra can be completely described in terms of the underlying poset. As applications of our results, we give a combinatorial description of the h-vectors of the partitioned permutahedra of Horiguchi et al. and poset generalizations of Landau's score sequences of tournaments. To prove our results, we show that poset permutahedra arise from order polytopes via the fiber polytope construction of Billera and Sturmfels.
